They missed:
You'd be so pretty if you lost some weight.
You'll never find a husband like that.
Your husband will find another woman unless you ______.

 

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I don't do subtle.

One of my trooper's wives told a female Marine that once. Once.

Hahaha I hope this was an example of a nonsense sexist statement...sure sounds like one.

Just like: I don't trust anything that bleeds for three days and lives.

It's really sad when women have bought into sexist dogma so much they are sexist to other women.

My all-time favorite was from a CPO when I was in USN boot camp. He was warning us against getting "tangled up with some female and neglecting your duties. Remember, boys, women just don't think like people."

 

[Wolrab]

You are pretty good at that, for a girl.



I honestly say that all the time knowing the reaction I will get. I am a male and an RN so the opportunity arises often.

Wow, you seem really, really eager to pull out the sexist card. What's up with that?

Most of those things are said by women to other women and therefore are not "sexist".

Go one by one I will not, but nope I do not find many of the remarks harmful. Sexist or not.

Some of them I heard told to men in a different fashion too. There are probably as many unsubtle and subtle sexist stuff told to men. E.g. if you are not married or have a girlfriend you are a sociopath failure, if you are married and have no children despite trying I actually heard far more often that it was because the man did not have strong "swimmer" etc...etc... The sexism is not based on beauty, but on strength , endurance and similar factors, nonetheless exists.

Here is another one for you : (even on those board?) I read people wishing prisoner go into a "pound me in the ass" prison implying rape is fine as an additional punishment. How often did you hear people wishing rape onto a woman and not being booed ? Yet this keep happening for men.

ETA: and that is not even counting all those qips about being a man and should "suck it up" while suffering for whatever reason, when (actually study shows women are more sensitive to pain and men report it less).

The sexism exists for both side. The problem I see is that is overemphasized as a problem only for one gender, while the other gender in many case is elft hanging out to dry. Both sort of sexism should be fought on.
